Oh, I know, I live near one, it's quite funny how the compromise to their complaints has existed for a long time now. We need more small town America again.

That's not what they're talking about, though. Like many of the "walkable" (or "car-free") European towns these sorts of things exist solely for the tourist trade (Mackinac Island, Michigan has been brought up here before). The picture in question is Telluride, Colorado, a popular ski resort town.
Note that almost all of the stores are shops and restaurants are tourist-oriented...it has an Ace Hardware but those places have a large gift/non-hardware department even in non-tourist areas.
Browse this thread long enough and what urbanists claim they want is something closer to a college campus and the adjacent bar/nightclub district.
A little something for @quaawaa !
So I was browsing hackernews and this came to my attention HN linkarticle
Uh oh, euro bros??
The comments are pure gold and we're starting off strong with the obvious...
Oh look, yet another entitled asshole that moved to Europe and is now telling locals how they're supposed to live
Europe has fallen...
One advocates for lowering fuel duties in Europe because they cover more than their fair share of infrastructure spending: >NOT LIKE THAT! I WANT TO TAX YOU OUT OF YOUR CAR!
Charge drivers with murder for driving vehicles I don't like:
The men who drive pickups won't drive them if we force them to paint them pink:
Someone asked how many people are killed by trucks in Europe:
No answer.
Why do my fellow Europeans like American things?
Bonus self-hating cuck that should be deported.
Someone pointed out that European roads already have tons of vehicles larger than pickups on the roads and got downvoted so much the comment is unreadable:
The Dutch are selfish because they like cars:
Jeremy Clarkson is why Europeans hate cyclists and don't use bike lanes:
I love the comeback from the non-car hater:
Europe allows headlights to be 430,000 candela but the US only allows 150,000:
The EU should ally with Russia because Russia doesn't make big trucks:
American living in Europe talks about how large SUVs are necessary if you have a large family which most Euros don't have:
Got told to buy a commercial passenger van instead of a comfy family vehicle.
Also, I love the admission that Europeans would choose to drive cars and have large families if their governments didn't make it difficult for them to do so.
Some of the dead comments that you can only see with an account:
They refuse to admit that these "safety" regulations are just protectionism:
The replies to this dead comment say that Jason would ban bikes if he could because transit is better:
By the way, no one who works in tech uses HN anymore. The site is almost entirely populated by European socialists who either work for the government or unemployed. Do not use them as a barometer on what tech people think.
I'm late to the whole wood vs brick house discussion, but it makes me lol because in the UK it is not uncommon for the exterior walls on super-cheap rowhouses from the 1800s/1900s to be literally a single layer of brick without any kind of support or insulation on the inside. American "brick" houses are usually wood-framed with a brick facade, but that is still sturdier than the UK style (and far superior for insulation/weatherproofing).
Possibly unpopular opinion here- but as an American I would tolerate living in a commieblock if it was cheap and racially segregated. Of course if they built commieblocks in modern America that wouldn't be the case, just purely a hypothetical.

Taxing things we want to see less isn't an inherently bad idea in and of itself, but no one is proposing a tax on homosexuals and single mothers.
Speaking of which, according to Wikipedia, Nick Pappas, the Democrat candidate running on an urbanist platform has withdrawn his nomination according to Wikipedia. Turns out that focusing on a major plank that no one actually likes is bad if you want to get elected, who knew?
I don't quite get what they're complaining about. We've had Dodge Rams here forever, I see them quite frequently already.
And any regulatory change won't really affect the amount of such cars we'll see here, mainly because there isn't that much demand for such cars. Fucking urbanist fags gotta stop pissing their pants, this won't really change a thing.
A friend of mine had a classic Chevy Suburban. Compared to European cars it was an absolute monster. I think he ended up registering it as a lorry, more or less. But even though he was a genuine motorhead and loved the Suburban, he ended up selling it because its size was just not practical here. And so I doubt cars significantly larger than the typical euro crossover SUVs will become more popular here.
Calculated the externalities to be 32bn GBP for car miles last year.
Fuel duty is 25bn, but then car insurance tax(IPT), VAT on car sales and repairs/servicing (VAT is 20% here), plus road tax probably easily makes up this figure and much more.

Great idea. Trains limited to 10MPH. Busses and trucks limited to 20MPH. School busses limited to 10MPH as they're carrying children and children are often near them. What's that, you want your goyslop now? Sorry it's all about safety.
What a pussy. I clicked on the video thinking he was gonna discuss the horrors of a raging truck stop meth addiction - instead he got addicted to over-the-counter poppers? (i.e. the stuff they sell to gay men for buttsex).
The problem is R/fuckcars 'spergs treat pickup truck ownership like a mind virus that turns everyone conservative, 'cause they're too retarded to figure out "correlation does not equal causation". They see Texans in car centric cities driving pickup trucks, and conclude that clearly the pickup truck is why Houston is a city explicitly designed for car ownership/car navigation, or why Texans vote Republican.

However, the love is short lived because Joe didn't nuke Israel:
Source(Archive) German urbanist mad that a package was delivered to his bughive:
It's not just Germany where this happens, delivery drivers in Poland do the same thing!:
Instead of taking 30 seconds to do a delivery in a dense anti-car area of town, delivery drivers should spend 30 minutes:
I'm sure they won't complain when the suburbs get free delivery while it costs €100 to get a delivery to the city center.
Bezos loses dozens of euros because of how his drivers behave:
Promoting vandalism:
Someone tries to tell cyclists that they can just ride around instead of complaining:
(i.e. the stuff they sell to gay men for buttsex).
